Description

Freetour, pay what you want at the end ! 

Step into Nantes from the Middle Ages to the 19th century! This walk takes you from the Dukes' Castle of Brittany to the secret lanes of old Nantes, by way of the majestic Saint-Pierre cathedral. Along the way, I will share the great moments of the medieval city: the saga of the Dukes of Brittany, the wars of religion, the fortunes amassed by the shipowners... A lively dive into 1000 years of history.

Guiding since 2026
Welcome ! I'm Camil, I arrived in Nantes in 2020 and never left. Not entirely by chance: this city literally captivated me, with its dense history, surprising architecture and an energy you won't find anywhere else. Since then, I've explored its streets from every angle, dug into its archives, discovered its hidden corners and gathered countless anecdotes. That's the passion I wanted to share by creating à pas d'éléphant. My goal: to let you experience Nantes as if a friend who really knows the city were showing it to you. We walk, we stop, we chat, we laugh and we leave with stories worth telling.
